Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The clinical outcome is expected, after 10 sessions of nonspecific mandibuar mobilization and massage providing the balance of activation of masticatory muscles, in TMD patients, providing increased range improving mandibular chewing. The gain range of motion is measured using a caliper and the improvement of masticatory function is evaluated by means of electromyography and diagnostic criteria for TMD.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The clinical outcome is expected, after 10 sessions of nonspecific mandibuar mobilization and massage provide balance in the anteroposterior and mediolateral, in TMD patients. The balance will be measured by means of a stabilometric platform.
